' AUGUST FRANK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED CANE, UMBRELLA, AND HAT RACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,741, dated January 5, 1886.

'Application tiled March 11, 1884. Serial No. 123,760. (No nodeL) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, AUGUST FRANK, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of New York city, county, and State, have invented a new and useful Improvement in aOombined Oane,Umbrella, and Hat Rack, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to a combined hat, coat, and umbrella holder, intended to be secured to partitions or walls in hat-rooms of halls, concert-rooms, saloons, or other public places, and is intended to facilitate the hang ing up of the same.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the device, and represents the same affixed to a hook-board, which is usually fastened to the wall, showing a hat, coat, and umbrella hung thereon. Fig. '2 represents afront View of the device. Fig. 3 represents a top view, with a portion of the molding cut away to show the manner in which the spring-holder is fastened.

Like letters represent like parts in the different views of the drawings.

D is a plate having the eyes d d d and the hook f. The plate has the appearance of the ordinary bolt-casing. Theplate D has the eye dat its upper end and the eyes 01 d at the lower end, far enough apart to allow the springholder b to pass between them. The plate is fastened to the hook-molding. The shank a is passed through the eye d and the eyes d 01 and the eye of the spring-holder b. A peg is then passed through the eye (1 into the hold to prevent the hold from sliding up or down. The shank a is bent at the upper end outwardly, and has a boring to receive the prong c of the hat-rod c. The hat-rod c is provided at the lower end with the prong 0 and the hook c and at the upper end with the loop 0 upon which is hung the hat H. The plate D has a small hook at the lower end to receive the hatcheck 9. The spring is made of spring metal, and bent in the shape shown in Fig. 3. In Fig. 3 is shown a modification of the spring.

The spring may be bent in any suitable shape, but I prefer to bend it with an eye and the prong curved with the convexity outwardly, and the ends of the prongs turned outwardly to facilitate the admission of the cane or umbrella.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
